Does blowing on our hot food before we put it into our mouths actually make a difference to how hot it is? (self.nostupidquestions)

I'm thinking that no, it doesn't. Which begs the question of why we do it? Is it a psychological thing?

I'm thinking that no, it doesn't.

You can literally see the difference (not to mention feel it). The amount of steam coming off the food after blowing on it is less.

Also, you're misusing the phrase "begs the question." It doesn't mean "leads me to a question."

You're right. But in the interest of no stupid questions I thought I'd ask anyway, because...you know, what if?.

And thanks for the grammar lesson, I didn't ask for that one but I'll take it on board.
